We are excited to announce that Queens Carbon has been awarded $14.5M grant in ARPA-E Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) program. This provides funding for Queens Carbon to pilot our breakthrough technology with commercial partners in the cement industry. “We know that cement manufacturing requires innovative, scalable solutions to overcome the environmental impacts and logistical hurdles of traditional cement production. Queens Carbon is committed to tackling these challenges,” said ARPA-E Director Evelyn N. Wang. “Through SCALEUP, Queens Carbon will build on prior work funded by ARPA-E and develop an integrated pilot facility at an existing cement production site to produce carbon-neutral materials in support of decarbonizing cement production.” We are honored to be selected from a highly competitive pool of industry applicants to support the scaling of our breakthrough production process to lower the CO2 emissions of the cement industry. This is a big win for our leadership, our team, and our partners. A big thank you Rutgers University, Breakthrough Energy and to everyone who has helped us get here. Onwards and upwards!
